(Detroit Free Press.) A young man on a certain excur sion train noticed a woman who stood up and searched her pocket wildly. •Been robbed, ma’am?” he inquired. ‘Oh, no,” she answered; “but It’s j just as bad. I've lost my ticket and | I’ve got no money. The railroad will arrest me for fraud.” “Well,” said the young man, “I’ve got n<) money either; biit here take ! my ticket and I’ll give the brakeman j a problem.” ; When the brakeman came through I the young man, to confuse him. kept moving about the car. Finally, though, he was cornered. “Ticket.” said the brakeman. “You’ve got my ticket,” said the ! young man. 1 "I haven’t got it.” said he brake- man. “Yes, you have ” ‘•We’ll see about this. I’ll call the conductor.” Whe n tho conductor came he said to the young man with a scowl: “Where’s your ticket?” “He's got my ticket.” was the ro- i ply. “See if he hasn’t got a ticket with a small piece off the corner.” “Why, yes. you have. Jim. There it is,” said the conductor reproach fully. “And here's the piece.” said the young man “See if it doesn’t fit.” It fitted and the conductor and brakemtin went off arguing and ges- 1 initiating “1 thought that was a prol lem they wouldn’t answer,” said the young man. □ Ct AM LESS toil □ Tilt* man who toils on and < make ends meet and getting is said U> have, “his nose at t' ali the time.
